This is so untrue. Americans give more PRIVATE welfare (charity) and help each other more than most of Europe. Ironically, the only other countries in the world that give more are those which have freer economies. Which is a more charitable people, those who do it out of their own free will, or those who do it because they are forced to? 

 

While it's true that Canada, Australia, New Zealand are Ireland have more economic freedom than the US. (http://www.heritage.org/index/heatmap ) Those countries do have more socialism than the US and they're doing just fine.

Depends on how you define "more socialist", either way the markets are freer in Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Ireland than the U.S.
